"Ho Ho Ho! 'Tis the season of giving, and you peaches all deserve your presents early. Have some lead and high explosives!"

Unfortunately, one-liners seem to be Santa's only action-hero skill, as he crit-fails the Skill roll and somehow manages to launch a rocket out the wrong end of his bazooka. Nobody's hurt, but the bazooka will need a turn to reload.

Two more Elves join in the fray, killing a zombie.

The Ninja moves up, but can't attack yet.

The others move up to cover the Vol. "Now I know what you're thinking: 'Am I getting presents this year, or a hail of bullets to the face?' In all this excitement, I kind of forgot. So I guess the question you should be asking yourself is... am I feeling naughty?"

Vol Boarding Party

The Vol wisely decide not to start anything. Their flamer attacks the Shadowscythe, but misses.

The rest of the troops move up, but they aren't in range just yet.

Britannian Boarding PartyCaptain Harris attacks the Scythian Marines, but despite a hail of lead shot from his rotary musket they all remain standing.

The Medic revives one of the swordsmen...

...and they both attack the Shadowscythe, but he manages to hold them off.

Scythian Boarding PartyThe Shadowscythe tries to strike back at his assailants, but crit-fails, losing a hand (-1 to Skill)

Neo-Prussian FleetThe Condor gets close enough to the Mothership to launch boarders.

Sky Marshal Von Platt attempts a heroic feat to steer their boarding pods to impact near the bomb so they can defuse it quickly, but he crit-fails again (just about every heroic feat attempted this turn got a 1, as did several Heroic skill rolls) and ended up on the other side of the ship from it. Not to worry though, the Scythians and Elves are close enough to get it before it goes off.

The fighter and bomber go after the Patrol Gunboat. The rolls go badly for them; they do no damage and lose the fighter to response fire. The carrier drifts along its vector, readying its gun for a response attack.

T.L.A. Fleet

The fighters reverse course and move towards the gunboat.

Britannian FleetThe gunboat attacks the carrier, and gets unlucky: the carrier's plasma gun fires first and takes away both of the gunboat's remaining HP. With the last Immortal ship destroyed, the space battle is over for now; it will resume if the Immortals manage to get control of the Mothership (i.e. activate the last two computers and put minifigs in the control seats) but that seems unlikely at this point.

Minor mistake: I didn't place the Ripper Droid on the Mothership map with the rest of the Neo-Prussians when I took the overview photo. It's with the rest of the Neo-Prussian force, right in front of the two rifle/spear troops.
